I've known Bill for many years and I have heard many of these songs. To hear them and his newer songs in the context of this play was an entirely different, revelatory experience. The premise of the show, a final farewell, is serious, but the play is alternately funny, clever and very moving. Bill does a great job performing the songs (of course), but also effortlessly carries the show. Kelly De Sarla, the director, has shaped a very tight performance. An excellent show that should be seen by everyone. I hope it gets an extended run! ...

A surprisingly catchy musical which knows how to interweave tragedy and comedy in an arc that pulls at the heartstrings and never once makes you feel as if this one-man is insufficient to create an entire world through his show. One would not know it to be director Kelly DeSarla's directoral debut if it hadn't been so listed - the piece flows nicely and is structured so that it isn't held back by its minimalist setpieces. Truly feels like a great showcase for the talents behind it, and one is left yearning for more works from the team in the future....

Bill Berry is a storyteller of the highest order. To hear such detail, humor, and interesting subject matter is rare in song. I could count other artists with his depth on one hand and still have enough fingers left to go bowling. If you missed his Fringe run, don't miss it again! ...
